Families Belong Together

DSA-LA’s participation in Families Belong Together is intended to show solidarity with undocumented peoples from all across the country. As socialists, we stand in solidarity with all immigrants and refugees in the struggle against capitalist exploitation. Borders are inherently violent: they define strict and artificial rules for the occupation and mobility of people, who are often displaced by various economic, social, and environmental pressures, including war and other forms of violence.

We must Abolish ICE and all forms of imprisonment and the carceral state. We cannot abide while people live in cages for the crime of living with material concerns. We cannot stop with the dissolution of ICE, we must ensure that all parts of this machine are abolished, including Customs and Border Protection and the greater Department of Homeland Security which houses ICE.
